Dekaney High School

Wait, a high school has signs inspired by Harry Potter? LAME!

 

Hmm.. honestly not feeling the "Ranch" style look. But its clear they spent alot of TIME and MONEY trying to make an awesome school. The gym particularly is NICE.

Who is this Andy Dekaney dude anyway?

 

WILDCATS!

In the House!








We're still in this together.

 

Wow, look at that cafeteria.

and damn, this is a public school?

I hope no board member from Cy-Fair sees this, and ask for another bond to build a freaking retractable roof football stadium, and ten new high schools with olympic size pools.

 

What a waste of $.

Schools should be built like office buildings, efficient and cost effective.

 

I'm surprised that my district had that kind of money. Go Westfield Mustangs (c/o 01)!!!!

 

I agree. I'd freak if that was my tax money.

And people wonder why teachers are underpaid...

 

That's what annoys me about luxury schools like this: there are schools where students have to share textbook or have to stand because there aren't enough desks, and the teachers struggling to give these kids the hope that they can be a success are barely getting paid enough to get by.

But heaven forbid little Richy McSuburbia goes to school in anything less than a Harry Potter-esque utopia. Sickening.

 

i'm sending my kids to private school.

 

That is not exactly the best part of town where the school is.

 

LOL It's not exactly 5th Ward either. Far from it.

 

Here is an aerial pic of a highschool near my house. Its bigger than some colleges.

 

That's not the point. I also never said it was in the slums of the city either. The point was that the school will likely be composed a vast amount of minorities and will also likely have more lower class childeren than upper class. Certainly not land of your typical "Richy McSuburbia".

 

I like it, maybe the kids will take more pride in that than the generic office building type.

Money well spent.
